Found a new fix... Had ried a couple of the solutions above: - added root delay to grub.conf / kernel boot options - changed grub to reference the root drive directly instead of by UUID - copied "initrd.img-2.6.32-21-generic" from another machine running Lucid ... but neither of those worked
However, after copying the initrd.ing from the bootable USB (Lucid Netbook Edition) I had used to perform the installation on this machine, then the problem was resolved - machine booted successfully and quickly as expected, instead of going to the busybox screen Here's the file that was copied from the Live USB / installer, onto my machine (into /boot) : 13513060 2010-05-02 22:11 initrd.img-2.6.32-21-generic Many thanks to this excellent doc, which got me on the path of this fix. --> http://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/ubuntu-initrd-bug.html -- Gave up waiting for root device after upgrade then busybox console https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/360378 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
